Billy Ray Goff vs. Ty Miller UFC Fight Night 284 preview
Goff (9-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) will look to get back on track after back-to-back losses to Trey Waters and Ramiz Brahimaj. His last win was in his UFC debut, a first-round stoppage of Yusaku Kinoshita in August 2023.

Miller (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) won his debut in January with a first-round, bonus-earning stoppage of Adam Fugitt. He’ll look to remain undefeated in his sophomore appearance.
Billy Ray Goff vs. Ty Miller UFC Fight Night 284 expert pick, prediction
Kicking off the main card in Las Vegas is a potential welterweight war between Ty Miller and Billy Ray Goff.
I was a big fan of Goff’s bodywork and action-fighting sensibilities since he stepped onto the UFC scene, but the 28-year-old’s propensity to fight a bit wide open could bite him in the butt here.
Miller may not look like much getting off the bus, but the Tim Means prototype possesses deceptively sharp striking in what appears to be a developing finishing game.

For that reason, I’ll side with Miller to find a knockout by the beginning of Round 2.
